(book review)

A novelty has arrived from the publishing house ‘Boat.’ The book is small in volume, and if you also remove the notes, it will turn out to be 150 pages, which can be read in a day, and I ran to read it too✨

Yeah, I really like the cover.

About what?

The history of the shoe factory ‘Solid’ is a fascinating study about the Lviv enterprise near Rynok Square. During the Holocaust, the monks of the ‘Studio Order,’ with the blessing of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi, hid Jews there. This is a story about Fr. Joseph Peters, the ‘Lviv Schindler,’ who, as a monk and priest, founded a successful production, which fell into the epicenter of the rescue action of the Head of the Greek-Catholic Church.

In the basements of Solid, women, children, and men were hidden, whom the Nazi regime condemned to death. During 1942–1944, many of them were hidden and saved from execution. They survived searches and denunciations, diseases and hunger together with the monks and waited for the end of the occupation…The deep diving into the plot of this book stirred a storm of emotions in my soul and I do recommend reading it. My rating is 9.5/10.
